Along the Mae Ping River among soaring Thai pagodas, 137 Pillars
House inhabits a verdant enclave of lady palms, mimosa trees and tropical
flowers. Thirty suites with every modern luxury revive Oriental elegance
that culminates in the original 19th century main building for which
the hotel is named. Surrounding cultural treasures await discovery as
do the spa’s Thai and aromatherapy treatments.
